Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Hershey’s SYMPHONY Milk Chocolate with Almonds & Toffee Giant Candy Bar is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients. It contains added sugars and several ingredients that may be considered harmful, such as natural flavors and soy lecithin. Furthermore, it includes vegetable oil, with palm oil being a significant concern due to its environmental impact and potential health implications.
The bar is comprised of milk chocolate, which includes sugar, skim milk, cocoa butter, chocolate, milk fat, lecithin (soy), PGPR, and natural flavor. The additional sugar, almonds, and toffee pieces contribute to its composition, with the toffee containing dairy butter, salt, lecithin (soy), and chocolate. It’s clear that the product is laden with sweeteners and contains artificial additives that may not align with a clean eating philosophy.
The use of palm oil is particularly troubling, as it is associated with deforestation and habitat destruction. The production process of palm oil has significant environmental consequences that cannot be ignored. This, combined with the presence of potentially harmful additives and the lack of organic certification, positions the Hershey’s SYMPHONY Milk Chocolate with Almonds & Toffee Giant Candy Bar at the lowest end of our green leaf rating scale.
For individuals committed to consuming cleaner, more sustainable, and health-conscious food products, this candy bar does not meet those standards. It falls short in several key areas that are crucial for a product to be considered a cleaner food option. Therefore, it is advisable to seek alternatives that better align with these values.
